How can I fix my laptop sound card/audio so it works without having to apply pressure to the laptop?
I’m having some trouble with audio on my HP Pavilion zv5255us laptop.
The sound card/audio does work so I know it’s not a problem with the drivers, but I can only get sound when I apply pressure to the laptop, usually near the headphone jack. This happens when trying to listen through the speakers and through headphones. I’ve recently bought a Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Amigo to help the situation and it does work perfectly with headphones but I don’t think there’s a way to have it work through my laptop speakers. As I travel a lot I don’t want to have to buy external speakers to listen to audio without headphones but I am willing to do this if necessary. I should also note that I will by buying a new laptop in about a year so I don’t want to make any costly repairs/upgrades on this laptop.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

This is most likely due to a bad connection somewhere within the laptop, probably near the sound car or speakers. Your only real option it to pull the laptop apart, and look for lose connections somewhere. It could be a bad pin, lose wire, or a solder that came loose somewhere.
The definite fix for this would be to replace the motherboard. I had a video problem once on a desktop that was very similar, only worked with pressure on the port, I opened up the PC, jiggled some wires and connections, and then it was fine.
